When our friends Brenda & Brent invited us to a vacation weekend in Maryland, we accepted without hesitation. Not only was it the 4th of July, but they were also throwing a party for their son's 10th birthday. We were also so excited to join them and meet their parents first time.
We went to Fairmount, Maryland where Manokin River meets the Chesapeake Bay. It was great to see the outcome of our donations to save Chesapeake Bay. We knew it was going to be a fun weekend but everything was beyond our expectations. This three day weekend vacation was packed with lots of fun, action, food, laughter and great memories.
But more important than anything else, watching our kids having a blast was priceless. In just a couple days, they had done more than they would have done all month. They slept and woke up whenever they wanted. They swam in their private backyard pool without any ten minute break and warning whistles of lifeguards.
Fishing was a first time experience for them even they cried for them at the end.
They were happy to share the hammock.
Ran and played with dogs Moxie and Mojo in the big backyard, and played all kinds of ball games. We celebrated Independence and a son's first decade…both with fireworks.
Even I was a little adventurous too. And I ended up with wonderful nature photos.
So much happiness was packed into three fast days. It was so hard to leave and lots of tears were shed on the way home, but we promised to have a weekend like that again very soon.
